This week we’re…Searching…for a decent movie to review in the midst of the exciting month of September and we found one!!! Join us as we catch up on some sequel news and sing the praises of Jon Cho in ‘Searching.’
Back in the mix for another September, we're kicking things off with a discussion of the World War 2 / 1960s(?) period movie about the final days of Hitler's regime in Operation Finale. Does it do the story justice or no? We also talk some sequel and prequel news and recommend some fine entertainment options in Weekly Recommends.
VIP EPISODE ALERT! A longtime request of Richards is finally getting a dedicated episode. Is Mask of Zorro one of the most underrated movies of our time? Worthy or a reboot? Waste of everyone's time? Hear what he and Brian thought while I probably watched re-runs of Space Ghost.
